In the highlight of the 35th round of the 2020/21 La Liga season, the Estadio Di Stefano witnessed a fierce battle between Real Madrid and Sevilla, with both sides shaking hands with a 2-2 scoreline on May 10th, Beijing time. Despite being unbeaten in the last 15 rounds, Real Madrid is still two points behind the top of the table. This round of matches should have been the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to overtake Atletico Madrid and top the table, however, against Atletico Madrid, who drew with Barcelona, Real Madrid failed to capitalize on the moment.
After this battle, the situation in La Liga seems to be back to square one. There are still 3 rounds left in the league, and the table pattern is no different from the previous round, with Atletico Madrid temporarily leading Real Madrid and Barcelona by 2 points, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are tied in terms of points. In these last 3 rounds of matches, any team can ask for the title, the key lies in who can be the first to seize the opportunity.
What's going on in La Liga this season, which seems to be full of drama? Let's take a look back at the beginning of the season. In order to rebuild, Barcelona "transferred" Luis Suarez to Atletico Madrid, a move that displeased Real Madrid, who felt that Barcelona was giving Atletico Madrid the La Liga title for nothing. Real Madrid didn't bring in a single star after last season. Barcelona is in the rebuilding period, so Atletico does have the strength to win the title, plus Suarez to join, Atletico like a tiger with wings.
However, the reality is that Atletico Madrid is still in a state of anxiety as they have yet to determine the winner of this season's title. Barcelona, on the other hand, has started low and gone high, with the star's pay cut at the beginning of the season, Messi's return to the team, the disunity in the locker room, and the chairman's resignation still fresh in their minds. Real Madrid, on the other hand, has been lukewarm, facing the strong team has not been defeated, but against the weak team has repeatedly lost. Atletico's form is extremely unstable, which is one of the reasons why the league is still in doubt. And while Barcelona started low, Real Madrid started high, and as the defending champions, Real Madrid is now in a debt crisis. Mbappe and Harland's future path is still confusing, while Atletico Madrid is like an outsider, the attitude towards winning the title also seems to be quite Buddhist, even if Barcelona sends the title for nothing, but also do not want.
To sum up, this season's La Liga has been very strange indeed, has everyone lost interest in the La Liga title?
